+SELinux Notes:
+If you're using SELinux in Enforcing mode, you will need to create a SELinux module - otherwise the check will abort with the typical "NRPE: Unable to read output" error.
+An SELinux module draft is part of this folder, you only need to compile and install it:
+```
+# checkmodule -M -m -o nrpe_fail2ban.mod nrpe_fail2ban.te
+# semodule_package -o nrpe_fail2ban.pp -m nrpe_fail2ban.mod
+# semodule -i nrpe_fail2ban.pp
+```
+
+After installation, ensure that the module is loaded:
+```
+# semodule -l | grep nrpe
+nrpe_fail2ban   1.0
+```
+
